History and profile
editTiden was established by the Swedish social democrat politician Hjalmar Branting in 1908.[1][2] It is an official publication of the Social Democratic Party[3][4] which was started to provide a platform for political and cultural discussions among the party members.[5]
Tiden was a monthly publication from 1908 to 1917.[4] In the period between 1918 and 1929 it came out eight times per year.[4] Then it was published ten times per year from 1930 to 1992.[4] From 1999 its frequency was switched to bimonthly.[4] It is published by Tankesmedjan Tiden, a leftist think tank founded in 2006, on a quarterly basis.[6] The magazine is headquartered in Stockholm.[1]
Editors and contributors
editMany leading politicians from the Social Democratic Party edited Tiden, including its founder Hjalmar Branting.[4] The others included Pierre Schori and Gösta Edgren.[7] Sture Henriksson edited the magazine between 1956 and 1957.[4] Since March 2018 its editor-in-chief has been Payam Moula.[2]
The contributors of Tiden have been mostly members of the party,[7] including Olof Palme.[8] One of them was Birgitta Dahl who published articles in the magazine on gender equality.[9] Carl Lindhagen, mayor of Stockholm, argued in his article published in the magazine in 1910 that social democracy should integrate humanism and avoid dogmatism.[10]
However, Tiden has also had international contributors such as German political scientist Fritz Croner who used the term planned economy for the first time in Tiden during World War I referring to German economic planning.[11] A well-known Swedish economist Gunnar Myrdal also contributed to Tiden publishing articles on the planning of economy in Sweden.[11]
